Why this exists
Screen captures are often oversized for bug reports and async demos.
DemoShrink cuts file size first, not editing complexity. This proof pass is tuned for very short clips because the public ingress is still small.
DemoShrink
Smaller screen recordings without a fake workflow.
Upload one recording, let DemoShrink recompress it on this host, and download a smaller MP4. The current preset targets screen captures: H.264, capped bitrate, optional fps trim, and fast-start playback.
Small proof-host clips
Keep uploads under about 850 KB on the published URL. The office proxy is capped at 1 MB.
Paid positioning
Launch plan is $12/month for frequent exports once larger uploads move to direct ingest.
Mobile usable
The upload and result screens fit a phone without hiding the core action.
Shrink one recording
Short MP4, MOV, MKV, or WebM clips in. Smaller MP4 out.
Uploads are processed on this host, deleted after six hours, and capped to small clips because the published ingress limit is 1 MB.
- No email gate
- No queue theater
- No larger-file fallback
How it works: upload a short recording, transcode it with tighter video bitrate and MP4 fast-start enabled, then download the result from the same browser session.
Launch plan
$12/month for teams that export often.
The paid product position is simple: upload, shrink, download. No storage plan, no editor, no transcription bundle.
Honest limits
Some already-optimized videos will be rejected.
If the current preset cannot beat the source size, DemoShrink refuses to hand back a larger MP4 and tells you so.
